Reifenstein Castle (German: Burg Reifenstein, Italian: Castel Tasso) is a castle in Freienfeld, near Sterzing, in South Tyrol (northern Italy). It is located near a dried marsh, in the valley of the Eisack.[1]

History

The castle is mentioned for the first time in the 12th century,[2] and was modified in the 14th century. It is a property of the Thurn und Taxis counts, who have remained its owners until the present. It is famous for the decorated "Green Hall" with Gothic paintings and a woodcarved chapel-door, the stubes and the collection of armor.[3] The castle also contains an original kitchen, bathroom and medieval sleeping bunks.
